IP address help in XP

How do you release and renew an IP address in XP? I'm looking for an alternative for "winipcfg" in Win98 where you can do that. Does such a thing exist?
 
From a DOS command window:

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /all gives you all the config settings for all recognized network interfaces.

ipconfig by itself shows you the abbreviated configuration

Good Luck

Scott

All of what ScottMac said, plus this is a quick way on how to get a DOS command window:

Start -> Run -> cmd (hit enter)

You may already know, but just in case. 😀
